Democrat Party Is Unfit Charge Tincher-Barkley Meet in Cam paign Speech—Hurl Charges. Greeley. Colo.. July 19.—Political fireworks—In the form of a debate between Repreeentative J. N. Tincher, republican of Kansas, and Represen tative Alben W. Barkley, democrat, Kentucky—on the respective merits of the republican and democratic parties, the piece de resistance of a Chautauqua program here last night. The democratic party proved itself not only unfit to rule the country, but also unfit to rule Itself in its recent national convention In New York, Representative Tincher argued. Solved Problem. "The Dawes plan of adjusting Ger man reparations," he declared, "has solved a problem that the league of nations, w'hlch the democrats en dorsed In 1920, but forgot in 1924, failed signally to solve." Representative Barkley attacked the records of the republican party and the administration of President Cool idge, basing his criticism on the find ings of the various congressional in vestigating committees during the last session of congress. "During the war period," said the Kentucky representative, "the re publicans named 51 committees to probe the actions of democratic office holders. These 51 committees finished their work without finding a thing to criticize.” Dawes Plan to Guard Invesotr Committee Sanctions Priority on All German Resources ,in Case of Default. By Associated Prrss. London. July 19.—The committee of the Interallied conference in charge of sanctions in the event of Germany's default under the Dawes scheme to day unanimously agreed to insure in vestors in the loan to Germany of priority on all German resources In the event of Germany's default. The committee also unanimously agreed to preserve all the rights en joyed by the nations which signed the Versailles treaty. These two is sues stood in the way of the negotia tions of the conference yesterday, and the agreement on them; it is believed, will expedite the work of achieving a general agreement on the Dawes plan. The agreement on the preservation of the rights of the signatories to the Versailles treaty was a concession to Premier Herriot of France and In effect it preserves the right for sepa rate action on the part of France.

Nearly one year ago Omaha experi enced a muddy water flareup which became a situation fraught with many difficulties. Investigation disclosed the fact that the system of washing basins at Florence was one of the fac tors of the case. The new system of washing basins, established a few months ago by Gen-i eral Manager Theodore A. Lelsen, pre vents a recurrence of the conditions which affected the entire cty last Au gust. Lelsen has deferred making an an nouncement of this innovation until such time as the idea Justified Itself After two months of experimentation, entire sedimentation system was Im paired. During the periods of muddy water In the river, basin No. 4, which receives the water first from the river, was emptied and washed twice a week arid the men found 8 to 10 feet of mud when the water was run off. During the refilling of the basins under the old plan. It was necessary to pump 12,000,000 to 21,000,000 gal lons of water per basin, thereby call ing for a double demand on the pumps. ynder the system now in use, basins continue to function while being washed. Basins 4 and 6 have three mud valves each at the bottom and bottom of the basins at intervals there is no appreciable interference with the operating efficiency of the plant and no possibility of accumula tions of mud in the basins. It is keep ing ahead of the mud, as Leisen ex pressed it. Under the old system of draining the basins it was necessary to use approximately 700,000,000 gallons of water a year to wash the basins; that amount has been cut to about 300, 000,000 gallons a year. Engineers of the Metropolitan Utilities District re ported that the new plan saves the district $10,000 in water, labor and alum, without placing any estimate on the increased efficiency of the § 3 i tc u Cl n H I t 5 S oc (2 I j the general manager is ready to state that Omaha Is on a new basis of cleaning the city water basins. There are seven large basins at Florence, six being sedimentation reservors and the seventh a "clear water basin,” suplied by the filter plant and which serves the large mains leading to the city. Under the plan of cleaning the basins the method was to shut one basin off from the system of basins, empty it and then apply high pressure hose lines for removing the mud. This process required 24 to 48 hours for a basin, according to the mud condi tions at the time. During that period the basin out of operation and to that extent the basin 6 has four valves. These are hydraulic valves which are released from 10 to 15 minutes at a time and at intervals which will keep the wa ter at a desired condition of turbidity. 92 Per Cent Mud Test. The flow released by the mud valves can be observed at an outlet. On April 20, before the new plan was started, basin 6 tested 92 per cent mud at a depth of 12 feet. After the first days treatment under the new plan there was 43 per cent of mud at 14 feet, on the second day there was only 2 1-2 per cent mud at 14 feet,*on the next day 6 per cent at 20 feet, and since then only a trace of mud at 20 feet. By opening the mud valves at the water system. Superintendent Homer V. Knouse of the Florence water plant prepared for General General Manager Lelsen graphs which Indicate the condition of basns 6, 3 and 1 durng June. 1923. and June this year; also the spread between high and low service pump age last year and their relative close ness this year. The curve lines last year show that basins had a wide fluctuation as compared with uni formity during June this year. The excessive low service pumpage last year reflected the water required for washing basins. This has been reduced ns Indicated In the lines of the accompanying chart for last month.

COOUDGE DEFINES 1 POLITICAL LABLES Washington, July 19.—Definition of tho two coptmonly used political 1 labels, "progressive'* and "reaction- I ary," depends, in the opinion of Presi dent Coolldge, on the viewpoint of the person endeavoring to make the distinction. Mr. Coolldge's views as to the two terms were elicited yesterday bv a caller who asked him to define'the two words. In his reply he said It had become somewhat of a custom in the United States for every person to classify all who disagreed with him politically as a reactionary and added it reminded him of the old definition of orthodoxy as "my-doxy" and hetro doxy as "others-doxy.” The president had engagements to day for several conferences, none of a purely political nature, and pro posed to board the Mayflower about midafternoon with Mrs. Coolidge, his son, John, and his father for the cus tomary week-end cruise down the Fctomac.
